The European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy (‘Fusion for Energy’ or F4E) plays a key role in realising fusion as a possible future source of energy by providing the European contributions to the ITER International fusion energy project and the Broader Approach Agreement with Japan as well as by preparing for the construction of a demonstration fusion reactor.

In its role as the Euratom Domestic Agency for ITER, F4E:

• Oversees preparation of the ITER project site in Cadarache, France;

• Provides in kind components, equipment, materials and other resources to ITER;

•  Manages procurement arrangements with ITER ;

•  Coordinates Euratom’s participation in the scientific exploitation of ITER;

•  Provides for the implementation of R&D activities in support ITER;

•  Provides Euratom’s financial contribution to ITER;
•  Provides arrangements to make human resources available for ITER.

In its role as the Implementing Agency for the Broader Approach Agreement with Japan, F4E:

•  Provides components, equipment and other resources for the Broader Approach (BA);

•  Coordinates Euratom’s participation in the Broader Approach implementation ;

•  Provides for the implementation of associated R&D activities;

•  Provides the Euratom financial contribution to the Broader Approach;

•  Arranges to make human resources available for the Broader Approach.

In preparation for the construction of a demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO) and related facilities including the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), F4E will implement a programme of research, development and design activities.

As a member of the Office of the Director of ‘Fusion for Energy’, and reporting directly to the Line Manager, the Management Support Officer will, among other tasks:

•  Provide support in the implementation of a Process Map system at F4E and, in particular, contribute to the development and definition of procedures and processes;

• Support the definition of operational and administrative manuals to be translated into a Process Map system;

•  Liaise with the line management and provide support in the definition of processes, procedures and instructions as well as in the development and implementation of specific action plans;

• Assist any F4E team within the Office of Director, Administration, EU-ITER or Broader Approach Departments in the development, implementation and improvement of the operational and administrative procedures by assessing the current system and providing options for improvement;

•  Contribute to the definition of the methodology to conduct management risk assessment and monitoring the mitigated actions;

•  Ensure the proper follow up of assigned tasks until completion and provide regular reports to the line management by preparing presentations, organising trainings and internal workshops;

•  Contribute to the organisational changes procedures and processes harmonising, maintaining and updating the manuals in line with the workflows.
